shockwards 2004 Videostreams (Dec 10 2003 08:58 GMT) - In case you missed the shockwards conference 2003 in Stuttgart - which you probably did - you have now the opportunity to see some of the sessions as a videostream. You have the great chance to see 3 of Colin Moock's sessions for free - but don't wait too long - who knows how long their traffic budget lasts. And: do not bother to look at the video of my candle dripping session - it's in german anyway. Uuaahhh - seeing oneself on video is even more horrible than hearing one's own voice on the ans |

Did the MoD waste £800m on Hawk trainers? (Dec 10 2003 08:57 GMT) - BAE Hawk Their top civil servant thinks they did. Earlier this year, Britain's Ministry of Defence bought 20 Hawk jet trainer aircraft for £800 million. In a highly unusual step, the MoD's permanent secretary, Sir Kevin Tebbit, refused to sign the contract because he thought it was a waste of money. |

This year, make it a generic Christmas (Dec 10 2003 08:57 GMT) - Unless we're talking DVF or Alexander McQueen, it seems brands don't matter anymore. That's right: Christmas shoppers are caring less whether you buy the denim from Dsquared2 or American Eagle. Brand loyalty is in hoc while $29 DVD players are... |

The Twit Train rolls on (Dec 10 2003 08:56 GMT) - Ahh, Tuesday. That means the twits are on TV. (See previous posts for the skinny) This week, the Dumbfuck Duo got a job at the local Sonic, and proceeded to heap on their special variety of hijinx, tomfoolery, and lobotomized... |

Kringle Feast Kringle Frosty Kringle Presents Kringle Tree Kringle Karols Kringle Bells Gotta love browser histories ^_^. Oh, and if you wanna send it to someone else, just change the To and From part of the URL. Use + to signify blank spaces. Very unproductive studying-wise. |

You daily Zen moment (Dec 10 2003 08:54 GMT) - As you may have gathered from yesterday's entries I wasn't having a great day. I had gone to bed thinking the Server From Hell was okay and I could concentrate on other things, but alas, I was waken up early to a dead server that needed to be up now and can we please move all the sites over to the backup server now and trying to fix things on a keyboard that is less than perfect (perfection in keyboards thy name is IBM PS/2) and the sheer idiocy of RedHat and all this before I even had caffeine set the tone for the rest of the day. Eventually I was able to straighten out the UID mess, get all the services from the Server From Hell onto the backup server and switch everything over (this about 1:30 am or so). And everything seems to be running fine (once I figured out how to increase the number of open file descriptors on the backup server to accomodate the large number of open files). |

Installation party (Dec 10 2003 08:54 GMT) - Well, I did not go to Miami today because of server problems last night (or technically, early this morning). The purpose of the trip to Miami was to retrieve two (of the four) servers I admin in order to install Gentoo and get rid of this silliness called RedHat. The other admin ended up going down to Miami anyway and delivered the servers to my door step. Later on in the evening, Mark came over to help me with my first Gentoo installation. Gentoo is pretty neat. |
